Choosing A Home Surveillance System

It is surprisingly fun to have camera monitoring on your home. You get to see your kids being adorable, your pets behaving while you’re away and you know when people come and go. When using cameras for the purpose of security, it is important to make sure that they will capture the details to make a difference. Cameras that don’t have the quality to identify a suspect of burglary, will do you no good when you really need them. We want to help you get the right camera system, the first time around.

CCTV Cameras

This commonly used abbreviation stands for Closed Circuit Television. Referring to the system that allows the owner to both monitor as well as record activity on his or her property. If you’re curious about suspicious activity or would like the convenience and security of viewing who is at your front door, then a CCTV camera system is what you need.

Quality Surveillance

Wired camera systems give the best picture quality and have the greatest ability to see distances far away, in low light or at night. Your camera will be connected to a Cat 5 data cable, which saves and stores video recordings to a NVR. Even with wired technology, you still have the ability to view video in real time with a WiFi connection and TruVision app.

Wired cameras are made of metal. Durable and made to last. Since the power source is directly fed to the camera via cable, you get the piece of mind that your camera will work in situations that batteries may fail. Such as extremely cold weather.

Wireless Security Cameras

Our favorite wireless cameras come from Interlogix. This brand of technology can be integrated into your other home automated features and viewed from a single app on your phone. With wireless, your cameras feed video from over your internet’s WiFi connection.
